Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 3FIO
Figure 1.15 Example of error bars in a graph.
This graph was adapted from the peacock butterfly research described in Section 1.5.
The researchers recorded the number of times each butterfly flicked its wings in response to an attack by a bird.
The squares represent average frequency of wing flicking for each sample set of butterflies. The error bars that extend above and below the dots indicate the range of values—the sampling error.
Figure It Out: What was the fastest rate at which a butterfly with no spots or sound flicked its wings?

Please answer the question but not too long! Thanks!
Explain what would happen in the simulation if the population size in the beginning was 25 flies instead of 2,000 flies. Predict results you’d expect to see.
What would happen to the relative frequencies of moth colors if environmental laws curtailed pollution and the tree bark went back to the pre-industrial color?
Question 8 options:
The ratio of light to dark-colored moths would stay the same.
Eventually, there would be relatively more dark-colored moths.
Eventually there would be relatively more light-colored moths.
Some types of mosquitoes are known to use landmarks as a mechanism to find the nesting sites. If a researcher were to move the landmark away from the nest (but the nurse remains on moved in the same location), with the mosquitoes still be able to find the nesting site?

- WRITE DOWN SOME NOTES OR TAKE AWAYS ABOUT THIS MODEL. Model 3 – Random Genetic Drift This model is an adaptation of the classic experiment conducted by Peter Buri (1956), which documented genetic drift in laboratory populations of Drosophila. In the model, ten vials (populations) of flies are held at a constant population size and the proportions of a mutant allele are tracked over generations. The population size and the initial allele proportion can be manipulated.arrow_forwardThank you for your help Describe how a researcher would determine the size of a penguin population in Antarctica using the mark and release method.

- A biologist is conducting an experiment that involves a colony of fruit flies. (Biologists frequently study fruit flies because their short life span allows the experimenters to easily study several generations.) One day, there were 2,730 flies in the colony.
